The economies death spiral by George Osborne a history graduate who doesn't know history.

As the graph on this BBC article shows the economy was starting to recover in the end of 2009 then this coalition was elected and within six months started their policy off economic slash and burn AKA austerity.

The depression is continuing with the government trying to blame everyone and everything from the jubilee to the weather. Indeed they are blaming everything except their own incompetence.

History has shown us that Austerity has never worked from japans decades long recession to the great depression between the wars austerity fail and it fails massively. During the great depression Britain enacted austerity measures whilst Roosevelt instigated the new deal and invested in the USA as a result the united states climbed out of depression and became the worlds strongest economy whilst Britain remained in depression.  George Osborne as a history graduate should know this.

The only conclusion is that the Chancellor is trying to continue the recession and there can be only one reason for deliberately continuing the recession. In a recession even more money than usual is concentrated in the richest 1% which just so happen to include the chancellors tax avoiding family as well as a significant number of Conservative backers. It is quite clear that the Tories are now destroying the economy for personal gain.

Tories day of spin over lords reform and Nick Cleggs stupid mistake

Today Tory tweeters are all agog trying to spin Nick Cleggs blocking of boundary changes (gerrymandering) in retaliation for the Tories betrayal over Lords reform as some sort of betrayal.

 They are trying to claim that the boundary redrawing is linked to the AV referendum. However if you look at the coalition-agreement there are absolutely no  linked agreements i.e AV for Lords reform. it is an all encompassing agrement. The Tories broke the agreement so the whole thing is now binned.

However i can have no sympathy for  the Lib Dems they made a deal with the devil and the devil is a much better liar than they are. It was very naive off Nick Clegg to believe that the conservatives would ever keep to their end of the agrement. Their entire philosophy is I got mine screw you.

Good news. Louise Mensch has a temper tantrum over being denied ministerial job and resigns

One of the biggest embarrassments in parliament Louise Mensch is to resign triggering a by-election that is expected in early November.

Louise Mensch main contributions to British politics has been to lie about hacking in Piers Morgan's biography to try and take attention from Murdoch's news corp (when you make Peirs Morgan look good you really are worthless). To shill for Rupert Murdoch during the phone hacking scandal . She also held hypocritical positions about abusive twitter messages. Supporting a man from her constituency who was cleared on appeal of Twitter abuse yet also making a successful complaint about someone who posted abusive messages about her.

With her resignation the honesty quotient  of parliament will increase. Her resignation supposedly because it has become difficult for her to balance work and family life has come just a few months after she demanded a ministerial job. It looks like that as she was denied this she threw a tantrum and resigned to cause maximum damage to David Cameron as it is very likely that the Tories will loss the by-election.

This is nothing but good news for Parliament democracy and the nation and hopefully the people of Corby will get a real MP and with a bit of luck it will be normal women who can inspire young girls to get into politics rather than turn them off like Louise Mensch must have done.
